Clean swaps

How we upgrade the restaurant version with better ingredients.

  • all-purpose flour → organic sprouted grain flour — Replaces refined wheat with a nutrient-dense, minimally processed whole grain that supports blood sugar stability.
  • granulated sugar → organic coconut sugar — Eliminates refined white sugar in favor of an organic alternative with a lower glycemic index and fewer chemical processing steps.
  • baking powder → aluminum-free baking powder — Avoids synthetic chemicals and metallic residues commonly found in standard commercial leavening agents.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F and grease a large griddle or non-stick skillet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Heat the griddle to medium-high heat over the stove.
  6. Ladle 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, spacing them out.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.
